Withings Body+ Wi-Fi bathroom scale for Body Weight - Digital Scale and Smart Monitor Incl. Body Composition Scales with Body Fat and Weight loss management, White

Easy to connect to the withings mobile app. Parameters such as weight, visceral fat % , muscles % get automatically uploaded.Health being most important, I did not mind spending on this slightly expensive scale.

My initial impression is that this is a beautifully designed set of scales. Looks very sleek, nice large display and not too large.Upon opening, I did find the installation process a bit fiddly (it refused to connect to my phone via Bluetooth) but once it did things became quite straightforward.In a nutshell, you stand on the scales, it measures a couple of things (weight, BMI etc) and sends the data to an app on your phone (I have an iPhone). The app then tracks the data and presents a couple of graphs to track progress.The nice things I liked:- able to set up multiple users on the application so you can track different people- display is nice and sharp - and large enough to read whilst standing on the scales- the app will connect to other applications (Apple Health, MyFitnessPal ,RunKeeper, Nike+ and for some reason Nest)- it will send and receive data to Apple Health which I really liked- fast to read your weight and also BMI.The things I just couldn't understand:- it will tell you the weather. No idea why, just look out of the window! I found that a pointless feature.- the manual/instructions are incredibly light and could really do with improving - it's essentially a quick setup guide and doesn't provide anything beyond that.I would imagine that, over time, the app will become more integrated with other items but utilising the existing smart phone ecosystems (e.g. Apple Health) is quite a clever idea and works well. I have read that the app has bugs but I haven't come across any so far.Overall this is quite an expensive piece of kit.... but if you are interested in tracking your weight and BMI and have a smart phone then it's worth serious consideration.*** UPDATE AFTER USING THIS FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS ***I'm still quite pleased with this and have set up multiple profiles - the scales detect who is using it and assigns the data accordingly (although I suspect it might get confused if there are several people with similar weights using it!).The behaviour remains confusing at times - sometimes it measures BMI, other times it doesn't (not sure why)... but overall it's been fine.One point to note - a traditional set of scales has a separate top which has springs linked to the bottom half of the unit. This means that it works well on solid surfaces, carpet, etc. This set has 4 columns that it rests on... therefore you need to have it on a hard surface (tiles, lino probably ok) for it to read weight data properly.

I would have given 5 star as the scale quality is really good. Built is premium. Display is bright and nice. Reading of weight is accurate. Can't comment on accuracy of other metrics as i haven't done lab test for visceral fat, bone density etc. 1 star deducted due to quality of app. The withings app is a crap. Not user friendly at all.

Only buy it to know weight, all the other readings are super inaccurate. The Fat percentage and muscle mass reading fluctuates a lot. For example, my I know I have a lot of fat stored and I'm almost obease, the scale shows that my body fat is 16%, I don't have any abs, I have a big fat belly. Super inaccurate.

Not very good. Somehow not been using since I bought it. And I have actofit too and that gives better parameters for lesser price. First unit was faulty and then had to replace and then I received an open piece which worked though.

The reading does not transfer to phone many times.Glitchy product. Cumbersome set up.Not upto expectations.

The product is decent in isolation, but the app has a really poor design. You can’t create multiple profiles in the app, so no way track measurements of your family members. Tracking 10 profiles written in the app is misleading and false advertisement. Someone should sue them in the consumer court.There is no way to see measurements, just senseless graphs and charts which really don’t make any sense. A school kid could have put in better Analytics. The App is also not maintaining old measurements that well. My records from last month are missing.In summary there are cheaper options available. The app is not at all worth it.

Product description and actual product does not match. Amazon is also not doing anything about it. Very bad product and amazon behaviour.
